Ariel Marie Brown got the life most girls dream of a Benz in the driveway, a mansion in the hills, and a best friend that's more like a sister. But behind the filters and fly fits is a girl still healing from things she never talks about. Oakland raised her, but the pain shaped her.
She's loyal, sharp-tongued, and guarded until he shows up, flipping her world and testing every boundary she ever set. Love was never in the plan. Neither was betrayal.
This ain't no fairytale. It's a story of real love, real hurt, and the war between choosing peace or choosing payback.
Because sometimes the line between love and hate is razor-thin and Ariel's about to walk it.

SEE RIGHT THROUGH ME
" 'Cause if I know you see me falling, You'll be right there to pick me up" Liyah never meant to fall this fast. She's the shy-but-outgoing type - the kind of girl who laughs things off, bites her tongue, and lets stuff slide just to keep the peace. Communication isn't her strong suit, and standing up for herself never came easy. But when Kayzon walks into her life, everything she thought she knew about protecting her heart gets complicated. Kayzon's got his own story - one written in pain, loss, and walls too high for most people to climb. His past made him hard, quiet, and guarded, but somehow, Liyah gets past the surface. She makes him feel seen again. Safe, even. What starts as late-night conversations and lazy afternoons in her dorm turns into something deeper, something neither of them expected. But when two people carrying their own kind of hurt collide, love doesn't always heal - sometimes, it exposes. Did they move too fast, or did they just find each other at the wrong time?
The Devil's Crybaby
Eliza Labelle had survived a shooting that should have killed her, but surviving turned out to be the beginning of her problems rather than the end. After waking in a hospital bed with a bullet wound and a government determined to bury the incident, she discovered that the man responsible had vanished behind the walls of a place most people only whispered about. While her family tried to push her back into her privileged city life, strange events and growing unease made it impossible for her to forget what happened. When she was suddenly taken from everything she knew and dragged beyond the safety of the world she had grown up in, Eliza found herself trapped in a brutal land ruled by old loyalties, hidden power structures, and people who lived by laws far different from those of the city. As she struggled to survive among dangerous strangers, she uncovered secrets that connected powerful families, forbidden territories, and a world that had been carefully hidden from ordinary people. The deeper she was pulled into that world, the harder it became to separate friend from enemy, truth from manipulation, and survival from sacrifice. What began as a fight to return home slowly became a journey that forced her to confront the darkest parts of human nature, the cost of loyalty, and the reality that some doors could never be closed once they were opened.

FATED TO LOVE {STORY OF US}
Alexander was the type of guy that every girl wanted. He was tall, dark, and handsome, with piercing green eyes that could make any girl swoon. He had a confident, charismatic air about him that drew people in. And yet, beneath his charming exterior, there was a dark side. Alexander had a quick temper, and he could fly off the handle at the slightest provocation. He also had a reputation as a ladies' man, and his conquests were legendary. But despite all the women he had been with, he had never once fallen in love. Ariel was the polar opposite of Alexander. She was strong-willed and independent, and she was not afraid to speak her mind. She had a sharp tongue and a quick wit, and she wasn't afraid to use them to put anyone in their place. She had no patience for games or nonsense, and she didn't suffer fools gladly. But despite her tough exterior, she had a soft heart and a deep well of compassion. She just didn't show it often. So when fate brought Alexander and Ariel together, it was like a match made in hell. When Alexander realized that he was the one who had been causing all the trouble, he was devastated.

But how could he make up for all the pain he had caused? And what if it was too late? He was terrified that he had already lost Ariel forever. But he knew he had to try, no matter the cost. He would do anything to earn her forgiveness. NOTICE : IT'S A NIGERIA STORY FIRST TIME WRITING 😁Complete
